Stir-beef with onions 洋葱牛肉 Yangcong Niurou


Another recipe with Yong Chun vinegar !

If you read my previous post on Chinese potstickers and it made you want to cook, now you end up with a bottle of black vinegar and you might not know what to do with it other than using it for a dipping sauce.

 

Here I offer you a recipe for stir-beef with onions, very easy to make. The interest lies in the marinade, the sauce, made with black vinegar among other things, which you can use to make other dishes with Asian flavors. For my part, I often use this sauce to cook my wok. It’s excellent !

Yong Chun black vinegar

Stir-beef with onions is a great classic of Asian food. This dish is also very popular in Asian restaurants in the West. It is prepared in a wok over high heat. This way of cooking typical of Chinese food is widely used throughout the Far East. I really like cooking in a wok, it’s quick and balanced since you can mix meat (fish or egg), vegetables and cereals in the same dish. By changing the ingredients, the possibilities are endless and this allows you to cook by adapting to the seasons, tastes and individual desires.

According to my guests who have tasted my woks, they are not so bad … but I remain an amateur who tries to perfect his recipes. Again, I consider cooking to be Kung Fu too. It’s a state of mind, we focus on the job and we try to improve each time to delight our guests !
